Artist's comments ...

Paper: Rives Lightweight
Ink: DS Traditional Black #79, Red
Impressions: 2 (one black, one red)

This print was inspired by a visit to Pompeii, Italy. Many of the vestibles of the houses have mosaic dogs on their floors, almost as a welcome mat (two of them are depicited in my print). One of the more famous mosaics is the one in the House of the Tragic Poet which included the wording: CAVE CANEM, which is Latin for Beware of Dog.
